no matter where you go in HK, you're bound to see lots of people, lots of restaurants, lots of lights, lots of buildings and just lots and lots of things. amidst all these lots and lots', you'll notice a lot of 周大福, a high end watch retailer, and you'll wonder, how can there be so many watch stores in HK? there's half as many watch stores in HK as there are 711's in taiwan? there are as many mcdonalds in the US as there are watch stores in HK? what is going on? then you walk around a bit more and u think......i bet the 周生生 watch chain was founded by the brother of 周大福....but the brother probably slept with his 3rd wife. the youngest of the triumverate. and so they had a big fight in causeway bay. machete and pipe style....chock full of dragon tattoo's, leather jackets and dyed streaks. and if that's how the 周 watch chains split, what about cafe coral and fairwood? maybe fairwood was an busboy at cafe coral and secretly stole wonton's from the freezer...worked his way up the chain, threatened cafe coral that he would unleash the secret recipe if he wasn't given shares...was rejected with a bat to the head....and so he left and started fairwood. which caused wars btwn the two chains with flying cleavers btwn bloody aproned 叉燒 chefs chasing each other down nathan road with the final duel @ kimberly road. really gets you thinking when roaming the streets of HK.
